tissue mitotic counts, which also peaked at diestrus 1. Radioactivities in the acid-soluble fraction of the incubated tissues were not significantly different for either labeled precursors throughout the estrous cycle. Autoradiographic studies of tissues collected after incubation with [3H]thymidine showed that silver grains were localized over cell nuclei. The data indicate that the growth of ...

background: to evaluate the effects of hyperthermia (ht) on the frequency of chromosomal aberrations induced by a low dose of neutron or γ-rays in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. materials and methods: blood samples were exposed to ht (41.5°c for 30 and 60min, 43°c for 15 and 30min), 10 cgy neutron or γ-rays, ht + neutron/γ, and neutron/γ + ht. after standard cell culture, harvesting, fixat...

Three groups of 24 C57BL/6J black mice were studied. One group was implanted with B16 malignant melanoma, another was implanted with mammary adenocarcinoma, and the third was not given tumor implants. After 14 to 17 days, the mice were given injections i.v. of technetium-99m sulfur colloid and killed 30 min later. Organs were weighed, and radioactivity was counted. The ratios of specific radioa...

background: gold nanoparticles are emerging as promising agents for cancer therapy and are being investigated as drug carriers, photothermal agents, contrast agents and radiosensitisers. objective: the aim of this study is to understand characteristics of secondary electrons generated from interaction of gold nanoparticles gnps with x-rays as a function of nanoparticle size and beam energy and ...

Introduction: Radiation countermeasures are defined as use of an agent to minimize the deleterious effects of radiation therapy by administering the compound after the radiation exposure has occurred, regardless of toxicity. In spite of extensive study in this field, yet there is no suitable radioprotector introduced. In this study two naturally occurring antioxidants were stu...

Astrophysical gamma-ray spectroscopy is a most valuable tool for studying nuclear astrophysics, as well as recent star formation in the Milky Way. After a short, historical, introduction to the field, I present a brief review of the most important current issues. Emphasis is given to radioactivities produced by massive stars and associated supernova explosions, and in particular, those related ...
